Asked 8 years ago by ASI.
- Answer It certainly has the space. But it's a drive, not a server. You'll need a way for them all to access the drive, obviously.

QuestionCan I connect it to the ps4 if I already downloaded games from my xbox in it? Will it delete my xbox games?
Asked 6 years ago by RJ.
- Answer I think you have to format it to your PS4 the same way you did your Xbox. Unless it gives you the option to partition on PS4 (doubtful) then yes, it would delete all your Xbox games on that drive. Maybe get a cheap drive to move your backup/lesser-played Xbox games to while you reformat this drive for your PS4. I would recommend using this drive for whichever system you need the most extra space on and don't take the risk of using it on both. I can't say for certain this is what will happen but it's an educated guess.

QuestionSony will soon release the PS4 System Update 4.50 which will allow for external hard drives to be compatible with the PS4. Will this hard drive work for that purpose? Also, I didn't see this anywhere, but does this hard drive require a power source?
Asked 9 years ago by theseventhcastle.
- Answer It will work. Be aware that if you just hook it up to your PS4 and format it, you will not be able to copy videos or music to the device, you can only put PS4 applications on it. I would describe this hard drive as loud. Not outrageously loud, but I was surprised. I have a WD elite 2TB external HDD hooked up to my PS3 - and this HDD hooked up to my PS4, and the elite is practically silent. (The elite is USB 2.0). Hope that helps.
